Laboratory reports are due at the beginning of lecture, one week from the date the laboratory was performed. Students are encouraged to work together (as a group) on the labs, and the laboratory report should also be a group effort. Lab assignments could be found here -

Students should collect data together in the laboratory and discuss its meaning and answer the questions in the laboratory assignment concisely. All laboratory reports must be typed and should be approximately 5 pages long (excluding hard copies of any code written for the lab, which should be included as an appendix). Students can use the following format for the lab report -

Lab Report Format

Equipment & Diagrams (if any)

Questions

There will be a 50% deduction if a student misses lab without any notice, and if we have to arrange a special lab for him/her. Such missed labs would be accommodated towards the end of the semester or during the projects week, i.e. just after the LIDAR lab. In such cases, the report will be an individual report (separate from the team report).
Late laboratory reports will be penalized 10% for each day late. If you have a question or problem with how any laboratory report has been graded, please submit within one week of being returned a written description to your TA explaining detailing why you think a correction should be made.
